Mathematical and category error. In 2022/23, the most recent year with available data, there were 11,174 sales of local authority social homes to their tenants in England. There were 1,945,152 such households as of the 2021 Census. This is therefore 0.57%, not 0.0014%. https://www.gov.uk/government/statistical-data-sets/live-tables-on-social-housing-sales https://www.nomisweb.co.uk/datasets/uv063 https://england.shelter.org.uk/support_us/campaigns/social_housing_deficit

Original Tweet

Tweet embedding is no longer reliably available, due to the platform's instability (in terms of both technology and policy). If the Tweet still exists, you can view it here: https://twitter.com/foo_bar/status/1821591564059341201

Please note, though, that you may need to have your own Twitter account to access that page. I am currently exploring options for archiving Tweet data in a post-API context.
